There is a noticeable difference, I always explain that the difference is largely like the difference between American and British English. It's the same language, and they are all acceptable (There's more than one Spanish in Latin America. Each country, in fact different regions have their differences, just as Canadian and American are different, and there are regional differences as well.)
They are all acceptable, although some people react differently to different accents/language differences. I know some people from Central America who get defensive around Mexicans, Mexicans who think the Spanish accent is a bit prissy, etc. A lot is just a personal thing, too.
The most noticeable thing is that Spaniards speak with a bit of a lisp. Their esses are more sibilant (ok, advanced phonetics, and you probably wouldn't notice until you'd been studying for a long time) than most latin americans', and z and soft c in Spain is like a th in English. Otherwise there are some vocabulary differences, just like between American and British. In America, we have a trunk in our car, and in Britain, they have a boot. In Spain, you drive a coche, and in Mexico, you drive a carro. It's all understood, though.
That's not even getting into the other languages in Spain which are now officially spoken and used. |

Both are valid and acceptable. There is a slight pronunciation and lexical difference between the two. You might want to check with the Real Academia. It is the institution that sets the standards for the Spanish language.

I live in Spain speak Castellano Spanish, but having traveled to the USA and Mexico, people understand me perfectly well even if some words are different. Most are dialect differences. |
|
right on
 |
there are differences in Spain as well. Normal spanish around the world does not have the th sounds like someone lisps. |
